join the movement
The poetry movement is exploding in Greater Lansing, and we love seeing it grow! In case you missed it...we recently welcomed our new Lansing Poet Laureate, Suban Nur Cooley, for 2026-2028, and we are excited to have her as part of our first Creative Mixer of the year. Join us for "Poetry in Motion," featuring performances by Suban, an open mic that invites you all to share your creative expressions, and a stroll through Old Town with Suban to ignite your creative flame.
